description: "Use this skill for Laravel Folio file-based routing tasks: creating pages with `folio:page`, setting up route parameters or model binding in filenames like `[User].blade.php`, defining named routes with `name()`, applying middleware, debugging Folio 404s, or running `folio:list`. Also trigger when a user is choosing between Folio and web.php for a new page, or wants to add a new URL or page in a Folio-enabled project (`resources/views/pages`). Folio automatically maps Blade templates to routes. Do not trigger for Livewire component, Normal Routing, Standard controller routes, or API endpoints"

# Folio Routing
## Documentation
Use `search-docs` for detailed Folio patterns and documentation.
## Basic Usage
Laravel Folio is a file-based router that creates a new route for every Blade file within the configured directory.
Pages are usually in `resources/views/pages/` and the file structure determines routes:
- `pages/index.blade.php` `/`
- `pages/profile/index.blade.php` `/profile`
- `pages/auth/login.blade.php` `/auth/login`
### Listing Routes
You may list available Folio routes using `{{ $assist->artisanCommand('folio:list') }}`.
### Creating Pages
Always create new `folio` pages and routes using `{{ $assist->artisanCommand('folio:page [name]') }}` following existing naming conventions.
@boostsnippet("Example folio:page Commands for Automatic Routing", "shell")
// Creates: resources/views/pages/products.blade.php → /products
{{ $assist->artisanCommand('folio:page "products"') }}
// Creates: resources/views/pages/products/[id].blade.php → /products/{id}
{{ $assist->artisanCommand('folio:page "products/[id]"') }}
// Creates: resources/views/pages/users/[User].blade.php → /users/{user} (implicit model binding)
{{ $assist->artisanCommand('folio:page "users/[User]"') }}

## Route Parameters vs. Model Binding
Use the correct filename token based on intent:
- `[id]` (lowercase) captures a plain route parameter string
- `[User]` (capitalized model class) enables implicit Eloquent model binding
- `[Post:slug]` binds by a custom key instead of `id`
Model binding is case-sensitive in the filename. Avoid `[user]` when you expect a `User` model instance.
@boostsnippet("Route Parameter vs Model Binding Example", "blade")
{{-- pages/users/[id].blade.php --}}
<div>User ID: {{ $id }}</div>
{{-- pages/users/[User].blade.php --}}
<div>User ID: {{ $user->id }}</div>

## Named Routes
Add a `name` at the top of each new Folio page to create a named route that other parts of the codebase can reference.
@boostsnippet("Named Routes Example", "php")
use function Laravel\Folio\name;
name('products.index');
@endboostsnippet
## Middleware
@boostsnippet("Middleware Example", "php")
use function Laravel\Folio\{name, middleware};
name('admin.products');
middleware(['auth', 'verified']);
@endboostsnippet
## Page Content Patterns
Folio pages are normal Blade files. Include practical data-loading code when creating or editing pages.
@boostsnippet("Inline Query Example in a Folio Page", "blade")
@php
use App\Models\Post;
$posts = Post::query()
->whereNotNull('published_at')
->latest('published_at')
->get();
@endphp
<ul>
@foreach ($posts as $post)
<li>{{ $post->title }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
@endboostsnippet
@boostsnippet("Render Hook Example for View Data", "php")
<?php
use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use function Laravel\Folio\render;
render(function (View $view, Post $post) {
return $view->with('photos', $post->author->photos);
});
?>
@endboostsnippet
## Verification
1. Run `{{ $assist->artisanCommand('folio:list') }}` to verify route registration
2. Test page loads at expected URL
## Common Pitfalls
- Forgetting to add named routes to new Folio pages
- Using `[id]` or `[user]` when model binding requires `[User]`
- Not following existing naming conventions when creating pages
- Creating routes manually in `routes/web.php` instead of using Folio's file-based routing
### Folio 404 Debug Checklist
1. Run `{{ $assist->artisanCommand('folio:list') }}`
2. If routes are missing, confirm Folio is mounted (`folio:install` + provider registration, or `Folio::path(...)`) and pages are under the mounted path
3. Verify filename-to-route mapping (`index.blade.php`, nested paths, `[id]` vs `[Model]`), then rerun `{{ $assist->artisanCommand('folio:list') }}`
